The town of Vyazma is an important railroad junction between Moscow and the rest of Europe. I live in this town and here are four pictures which I took on August 1st this year, that is 12 days ago, as I was seeing my brother off on the train to Moscow.

Yesterday there was celebration called «The last bell ring» all around Russia. It means graduation from the high school. Here’s a couple of pics from Moscow with young Russian girls photographed yesterday during the celebration.

These days people travel a lot, like never before, thanks to modern ways of transportation which include trains, airplanes and cars. Our ability to travel today depends only on money and our own aspiration for travel.

Also, there are many potential travelers who just do not know where to go.

Today I’d like to give my readers advice on where to go in Russia, in case they are interested in taking photographs of old churches and other architecture of the past.

One of such places is the town of Velikiy Ustyug (The Great Mouth of the South River), that is situated in North-Western part of Russia. Here are four photos taken in that ancient Russian town:

Three days ago I was in Moscow on the burial of my first cousin. She was only 44. Massive stroke. After the burial I photographed the nearest lake around her former residence in Kraskovo, that is not far from Moscow.

There is one more lake over this one and one more to the right, which is smaller than the first two lakes.
